Toolchain fails to install SDK v1.6.0

[ibiglari]

I am trying to install nRF Connect SDK v1.6.0. For some reason the download speed is extremely slow, and even fails without the ability to resume automatically. On two occasions Toolchain Manager v0.9.3 claimed it had successfully installed the SDK but I couldn't locate boards, projects, or even zephyr root folder in SEGGER, as if the download was incomplete. Is there a way I can manually download the necessary files and feed them to the Toolchain?

Hi Markus,

Thanks for your quick reply.

Below is the output of 'ncsmgr init-ncs':

NCS repositories are not yet cloned here. To do so run the following command:

ncsmgr init-ncs

me@My-Computer MINGW64 ~/ncs/v1.6.0
$ ncsmgr init-ncs
Checking out NCS v1.6.0 ...FATAL ERROR: already initialized in C:\Users\( , )_( , )\ncs\v1.6.0, aborting.
Note:
    In your environment, ZEPHYR_BASE is set to:
    C:/Users/( , )_( , )/ncs/v1.6.0/zephyr

    This forces west to search for a workspace there.
    Try unsetting ZEPHYR_BASE and re-running this command.
